'I Can't Say with Certitude if it's My Crotch'

Nine words I thought I'd never hear together: 'I can't say with certitude if it's my crotch'

What a strange thing to say. I think, if I were to take a picture of my crotch, wearing only my underwear, I'd think that would be memorable enough to take note of. If he was in the habit of having someone else take pictures of him, close up, in his underwear (particularly when Mr. Happy was "happy"), I'd think that would be pretty memorable as well.

How does one not know whether or not an alleged picture of you, taken in your underwear, is you or not? Are not the possibilities that it was taken by you, (Memorable) or it was taken by someone else, close up with your consent? (Also memorable) Or, it was taken by someone else, close up without your consent? (Memorable and perhaps actionable!)

Do you not recognize the underwear, Congressman Weiner? Could you be in the habit of wearing someone else's underwear and that's why you don't recognize it?

Could the picture have been taken by someone whom you presume to take a lot of pictures of different men's crotches, close up, when they are "happy"? Is the uncertainty caused by the unreliable nature of someone you allowed to photograph your crotch, not knowing if this shot in particular was yours? Or do you simply not remember the incident because drugs and/or alcohol may have been involved?

Somehow, in most of the alternatives, Congressman Weiner, you don't come across as a sympathetic victim. Maybe you should just quit while you're behind? (Of course, it wasn't your behind that got you into trouble in the first place!)

Update: In order to be perfectly fair with Mr. Weiner, in the age of photoshop, he may have been thinking, I don't know if that's me, I don't remember it being that big! Our apologies for not including every possibility!
